What to know

  • Anthropic signed a $13.7B, six-year deal to lease compute capacity from Rum Group at a Georgia data center still under construction, linking the AI company to Trump-adjacent investors including Peter Thiel and Vice President J.D. Vance.
  • The deal's details remain unclear, including whether the data center's late-2025 completion timeline still holds and how Rum Group plans to finance the facility after disclosing in August it lacked necessary funding.
  • This is one of multiple compute agreements Anthropic has struck in the past year with companies including Google and SpaceX, totaling at least $517 billion in costs across a decade.

“The six-year deal with Rum — which owns conservative-leaning video platform Rumble, and is linked to President Donald Trump's administration — was reported Monday by The Information.”
